Itis known that makeiup and the like greasesin stick or pencil form" for the lips and eyes, are contained in sheaths or holders generally furnished with a feed device, the

stick or pencil passing out through an aperture of cross-sectional dimensions corresponding with the transverse section of this stick or pencil. In use, the tops of these lipsticks, or the like pencils lose their tapered 1o shape necessary for their proper use, no

y part of the sheath or holder tending to maintain such shape.

T he present invention avoids this inconvenlence; it consists of a grease-tube, lipstick or the like characterised by this that the stick or pencil in its ascent from the tube is guided between two or more fixed plates or blades, of which the upper ends, spaced apart, are tapered andshaped or trimmed in such a way as to form a cone or a cylinder tapered in the form of a wed e. On the annexed drawing, y way of example,

Fi re 1 shows in elevation a grease tube fori1 t e lips.

igure 2 is an elevation at ri ht l to the'rst, and g ang Figure 3 is a plan view thereof. Fi e 4 is a section, on a larger scale, on line -A of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a section on B-B of Figure 4. Fi res 6 and 7 are two detail views showin t e aembly of the parts.

gare 8 is a section on line C-C of Figure Figure 9 shows in Vvertical section a modied construction of the -tube, specially intended for shading around the eyes the tube having its cap closed.

Fi e 10 is a section thereof on line D-D yof Figure 9. Figure 1125s anelevation thereof, part section, with the cap o ed.

In the example shown in F1 1 to 8, the stick or ncil 1 for application to the lips, is held tween four guide blades 2 of the shape shown in section in Fi 5 and 8 having their upper ends tapered and beve edasat3in airs,insuchawaythatthe whole four ybla es will present the general appearance 0f a wedge or whistle mouthpiece.V The blades 2 are socketed or set in a ase memberY 4 provided with a milled disc 5 and they are secured in this base member lliyla key or wedge 6 'of wood or other mate- The pencil 1 rests upon estar-shaped late 7 fitting closely to the inner faces o the blades 2 and provided with tongues 71 (Figures 6 and 8) engaging in the longitudinal gaps between them. A thin ring 8 with four evenly spaced cuts extending up from its lower edge and provided with a circular groove 9 and with four notches 10 is secured,

uring the assembly, in a tube 11 having a longitudinal groove 12 in which there can slide a spur or pin 13 fast with the ring 8.

'Ihe extremity of this pin passes into a straight groove 14 formed in a sleeve 15; this .straight groove of short length is continued by a helicoidal incline 141 continued 70 's irally along the whole of the sleeve 15;

t 's sleeve 15 rests upon a shoulder 111 on the tube 11 and it is also enclosed and held in a socket 16 screw threaded at its lower part (Fi res 4 and 7).

After t e stick 1 has been inserted in the guide blades 2 and the latter have been seated in their holder or base' 4,' the blades are paed. through the ring 8 until the tongues "Il1 enter the notches 10. By pushing up the base 4, the tonguesl '71 are made to force the ring 8 up into the tube 11, the four parts of its .base being thus brou ht inwards together, which-closes the notc es 10 and secures the ton es 7-1 of the plate 7. At the moment when t e pin 13 of the ring 8 reaches the end of the straight groove 14, the ring enters completely into the tube 11, while vthe -stick 1 and the blades 2 pass beyond the outer socket or casing 16 to a suitable extent. The base .4 is then capped with a sheath'or cover 17 of which the upper part is screw threaded to the base of the socket or casing' 16. Arcontracted or inturned portion 18 o the cover 17 prevents the base 4 from becoming loose whilst allowing it to be turned. The tube is thus read for use, see Figure 4.

The stick is passed we'en the lips of the user in such. a way that the oblique or chamfered surfaces 3 of the blades 2 bearing against them as the lips are smeared, cause the uniform or regular wearing away of the product so that it retainsthis shape.

In order to move the stick or pencil of salve or grease outwardl from the tube as it is used up, it is cient to turn the base 4 by means of the milled disc 5 which afecta the rotation of the ring 8; the 1n 13 which is fast thereto enters in the elical smv@ .1.41 .which 1t P- l ward movement along the tube 11 and consefglently that of the ring 8, of the plate 7 an of the stick 1 which rests upon this latter. v In the constructional modification relating to a tube for a pencil for the eyes or eyebrows (Figures 9 to 11), the grease slides between two parallel blades 19, tapered and rounded oil' at their ends. The feed or advance of the grease is caused by a1 ring 20 fast with a horizontal bar 21 upon which the grease rests. The two parallel blades 19 are fast with two segmental portions of tubes 191. The blades and the tubular segments can be made by suitable folding from the same sheet of thin metal. The tube so formed is located inside another tube 22 of which the cigar-shaped extremity is pierced with a hole 23 and with two longitudinal slots 24 for the passage of the cross mem ber 21. The tube 22 is covered with a sheath 25 furnished with a lid or ca formed by two jaws 26 mounted upon t e sheath by means of two plate springs 27 tending to close them together. Two slots 251 formed in the sheath 25 permit the passage of guides 201 fast with the ring 20. The cap automatically opens as soon as the tube 22 is pushed forward and similarly it closes as soon as the tube is brought back rearwardly.

Itwillthusbeseenthatthegreaseor other substance 1 is fedforward from the holder vor container through the contracted mouth and guided between the inturned edges of the se arate shell-plates 2 and that consequently e grease issuin from said mouth does not become smeare indiscriminately in all directions.

The invention is not limited to the details of construction which can be varied without departure from the spirit of the invention.

It is farther understood that the cap described as applied to the tube containing the pencil for the eyes might also be ap lied to the grease-stick for t 'e lips,l and t at the arrangements indicated in the construction of the two grease tubes might be combined together.

What I claim isz- A grease tube for facial make-u purposes including a grease holder having parallel guide pieces spaced longitudinall to provide slots through which grease w' be extruded when subjected to pressure, the edges of the guide pieces along the slots constituting means for slidin engagement with the lips during the ap hcation of the grease and for smoothin t e grease upon the lips, the free ends o the guide pieces being tapered, and means for shifting the grease longitudinally between the guide pieces toward the tapered, ends.
